This former Angel is getting her wings again.

After a 16-year hiatus, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley made her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show return on Sunday’s runway.

She strutted the iconic catwalk wearing a shimmering ice blue lingerie set featuring a delicate lace bralette and high-waisted bottoms accented by sparkling crystal body chains.

She completed the ensemble with white feathered angel wings, loose blond waves, dangling earrings and a crystal necklace against a wintry, icy-blue runway backdrop.

Huntington-Whiteley was once a fixture on the brand’s runways, having appeared in every annual show from 2006 to 2010.

Now, at 39, she told British Vogue she’s “delighted” to be back modeling for “the ultimate iconic American brand.”

When asked about her prep, she credited strength training as the backbone of her workout routine — though she’s also a fan of Shani Darden facials, cold plunges and lymphatic drainage.

“I’m about to turn 40 next year; I look at my body and I have so much appreciation for having had two children,” she explained.

“For me, it’s really about feeling strong and fit, as opposed to thinking about a number on the scales or on a measuring tape. Competence builds confidence.”

The British star is hardly the only household name making a big return to Victoria’s Secret this year; runway icons Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio are back for the first time since 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The highly-anticipated show also includes more recent brand faces, like Elsa Hosk, Gigi Hadid and Barbara Palvin — plus stars making their VS debut, like Natalia Bryant and Kylie Jenner.
